  • Patent number: 6795156
    Abstract: An orientation inspector for LCD cell is utilized to inspect the LCD cell. The LCD cell includes two transparent substrates wherein the first transparent substrate is slightly bigger than the second transparent substrate and a step is formed on the first transparent substrate along the two side edges thereof. The orientation inspector for LCD cell comprises a main body connected to a hoister which can lower the main body to a predetermined position to stop the step at side edge of the LCD cell; a sensor disposed in the main body for detecting the step at side edge of the LCD cell below the main body, wherein when the body stops the step at side edge of the LCD cell and the sensor detects the step on the first transparent substrate, the sensor will confirm that the LCD cell is at correct orientation, and when the main body stops the side edge of the LCD cell and the sensor can not detect the step on the first transparent substrate, the sensor will confirm that the LCD cell is not at correct orientation.
